minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish39•edit-21 month agoThe nerds haven’t hung out at best buys in years. They’re a glorified appliance store now. Last time I went into one for a computer part, they had 3 colors of the same case fan and two different GPUs, and that was it. Now MicroCenter, that’s where it’s at.
minus-square@Pronelllink3•1 month agoAh, right, Best Buy was the Geek Squad. That’s who would be hanging out there.
minus-square@cmbabullink3•1 month agoWhere is there one? I know of one north of Atlanta and one in Dallas. There just ain’t one in Washington
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 month agoThere’s 1 in most major cities. I love Micro Center to death, but I sincerely doubt that most Americans live within 20 or 30 minutes of one.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 month agoYeah, west coast is a bit barren for micro center. One in LA, one in SF (when they open). I have 3 in my state (Ohio) but their headquarters is also here so shrug
